Hong Kong: Afternoon tea at LGB

There’re many places in Hong Kong serving afternoon tea but they usually have long queues and the waiting time can be very long. We wanted to have a relaxing Sunday stuffing our faces with cake and sandwiches without the annoyance and fuzz of the popular places so we headed to the LGB (Le Gouter Bernardau) cafe in the IFC.

We got a table almost immediately and ordered a set for 2 people for 395 HKD. Our tea selection arrived first – Earl grey, always (!) – and within a few minutes the beautiful stand arrived with a fine selection of cakes and sandwiches. The sandwiches were salmon and cream cheese, ham and cheese and bruschetta with prawn – the cucumber sandwiches were missing, which was a shame because I think they’re essential in any afternoon tea set-. The selection of cakes was bigger than that of the sandwiches and it included: Mango cake, date cake, scones – with cream and jam -, chocolate biscuit, orange cake, strawberry cake, the signature macarons of LGB and 2 strawberries. My companion complained that the size of the scones was rather small but I thought it was fine, keeping in mind that we couldn’t finish the set and had to take away a few cakes to eat for the rest of the week.

The food was delicious specially the cakes!
I think that in Hong Kong high tea tends to be expensive (even more if you go to a hotel), but you could share a set for 2 people with 3 people and it’ll be enough food for all 🙂
